John,
Just to confirm I have tried using "joinExisting" declaring the "time"
dimension but it fails:

1) so now that ive looked on one of these files, i understand better.
this could work in NcML, but you will have to add all the CF coordinate
information in the ncml, as theres none in the file.
2) however it all may be in the global attributes (see below), and could
be pulled out by a CoordSysBuilder Java class.
to the group: has anyone done anything like this for the ROMS dataset?
